Don't cheap out just buy a set of OEM M3 fenders. That cheap plastic is saving you from paint dings and chipped paint all day long

The OEM m3 fender will not fit. What would you put in the side gill gap anyway....the M3 indicators will not work

The M3 fender will fit the car but it won't fit correctly with the stock non-m bumper and side skirt. To do it correctly you'll need the front bumper hood fenders and side skirts.

If you have a good fab shop I'm sure they can make it work though.

How do you know this fits a Non-M? It just says M3 Style for BMW E92. Technically a real M3 can be a BMW E92, maybe they just mean this is M3 Style and not OEM part? Anyways, the last thing you would want to do is put a part that isnt guaranteed to fit properly on such a visible place on your car.

As stated a few times above, the OEM m3 fenders are too long for a non M car. The stock hood will be too short to line up with the tip of the fender, and more importantly, the arch that goes around the wheel on the M3 fender is thinner, than the regular e92 fender, which has a wider, flat surface that goes around the wheel arch. The stock side skirts will ALMOST line up with these fenders, it will be just slightly off, and the M3 turn signal will need to be custom wired to work with the non M3 side marker because they use different connection methods to plug into the light source. It also goes without saying that the stock front bumper is not wide enough to fit with the M3 fenders. Hope that helps!
